Bug #7623: Messages while RDoc generation
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7623#change-35128

Author: tomoakin (Tomoaki Nishiyama)
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: DOC
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-linux]


The message reported in 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5366
happened during compilation of the ruby-1.9.3-p327.tar.bz2 distribution on CentOS6.
While the message was observed just by extract, configure and make,
make clean just after configure did not help either.

steps to reproduce
 $ tar jxvf ruby-1.9.3-p327.tar.bz2 
 $ cd ruby-1.9.3-p327
 $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
 $ make

These messages are unclear if they are normal notification/warnings 
that may be ignored, or error messages that should be taken care of. 
make test reported no error.  
If this is not a bad indicator, some explanation in document is desired.

make; make clean; make
sequence have not solved problem, but 
generated the following error:

This is apparently another problem, which need not be handled in normal installation.
But suggests that make clean fails to delete something that should be deleted or
insufficient information is described in the Makefile.
